Shenjiamen. There are "scalpers" soliciting customers everywhere near the seafood park, so don't pay attention to them. Seafood is scarce and the price is no cheaper than in Shanghai. There are many seafood restaurants near the Golden Beach in Longwan Village, and the prices are similar. Remember to ask about the seafood prices and order more popular seafood. Some seafood varieties are more expensive.

The three major temples in Mount Putuo (Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, and Huiji Temple on Foding Mountain) provide vegetarian meals in the morning and evening, which are very cheap and attract many pilgrims and tourists.

3. Other specialties

Putuo Buddha Tea

Putuo Buddha Tea is one of Zhoushan’s traditional specialties. It is named after the highest peak - Foding Mountain. Putuo Buddha Tea imitates the shape of Jiangsu Biluochun. Its shape is tight and curled into a spiral shape, its color is green and shiny, its soup is bright yellow-green, its taste is mellow and light, refreshing and pleasant, refreshing the heart and spleen, especially after the second drink. The tea is rich in aroma, sweet and delicious, and has the feeling of "waiting for your skin to be soaked in sweat, and your hair and bones to be windy and cool in June".

Putuo Buddha Tea has a long history, recorded as early as the Ming Dynasty. It was carefully cultivated by local mountain monks and residents, and has become famous for its unique flavor. According to historical records, Putuo Buddha tea not only has the function of clearing the mind and refreshing the mind, but also can cure diseases. "Putuo Mountain Chronicles" says: Buddhist tea picked before rain and brewed with local spring water can cure lung abscess and bloody dysentery.

South China Sea seaweed

The main types of seaweed in Zhoushan include selenium seaweed, spotted seaweed, round seaweed, etc. Originally wild seaweed, cultivation began in 1969. According to the production season, those harvested before the beginning of spring are called "winter vegetables", and those harvested after the beginning of spring are called "spring vegetables"; according to the production methods, one is called "beating vegetables" and the other is called "pulling vegetables". Winter vegetables and cabbage are of high quality and are top-grade among seaweeds. Seaweed is delicious and nutritious, containing carotene, thiamine (No. 1 B vitamin), riboflavin (No. 2 B vitamin), niacin, ascorbic acid (C vitamin), protein, fat, sugar, and inorganic salts , calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., which have obvious effects on patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis. In Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is recorded that "anyone suffering from lump-forming diseases should eat seaweed regularly".

Putuo Narcissus

Putuo Narcissus, also known as "Guanyin Narcissus", has four unique characteristics: "fragrance, color, appearance and charm", and is the city flower of Zhoushan City. In late winter and early spring, when the flowers are withering, patches of narcissus can be seen everywhere on some sunny slopes. Their fragrance is intoxicating and gives people a sense of elegance and elegance. It really makes people forget to leave. Putuo Narcissus has been praised by flower growers for its excellent quality. Although the flower bulb is not large, the flowers are rich and fragrant, and Putuo Narcissus has better adaptability and cold resistance than Zhangzhou Narcissus. Putuo Narcissus wins for its high quality and sells well in 25 major cities across the country. It has become the leader among Chinese Narcissus.

Putuo District is rich in wild narcissus resources and has a long history, with written records as early as the Southern Song Dynasty. Since the 1970s, it has been artificially cultivated from wild transplants. It has won praise from flower connoisseurs for its large bulbs, numerous flowers, and strong fragrance. In 1981, it was officially named Putuo Narcissus, and is listed as one of the three best narcissus varieties in my country along with Zhangzhou Narcissus and Chongming Narcissus.

In addition, "Buddha Melon" (a kind of watermelon abundantly produced in Mount Putuo, characterized by its thin skin, red flesh, and sweetness, is a good variety for quenching summer heat and quenching thirst), Yunwu Buddha Tea, South China Sea Seaweed, and Huihun Grasses, aphrodisiacs, stone cauliflower, Guanyin narcissus, and purple bamboo are all unique to Mount Putuo.
